Hi, One thing about palette: it should use one color 10 different modes, not 8. Then its better to use, compare: 1. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/1/1b/Rpalette.png(some libreoffice colors with 10 different color mods, with little mods) 2. 8 color mods: http://ubuntuone.com/p/aFj/ very unbalanced.
